The Most Common Questions We Get About eXactnav™

If you’re exploring real-time parking apps or digital wayfinding solutions, here are the most common questions we get about eXactnav.

What Makes eXactnav Different Than Other Parking Apps?

Most parking apps focus on a single function — typically payment. eXactnav brings together real-time availability, navigation, and secure mobile payment in one connected platform.

What sets it apart is accuracy and live visibility. Powered by sensor-enabled infrastructure, eXactnav provides real-time updates on available parking — not static counts or outdated estimates. Drivers can see open spaces before they arrive and navigate directly to them.

Key differentiators include:

  • Real-time availability by stall or zone
  • Navigation to a specific space, zone, or destination
  • Integrated, secure in-app payment
  • Live pricing visibility by stall or zone
  • Automatic pricing adjustments based on time-of-day rules
  • Alerts when a selected space becomes occupied, with suggested alternatives
  • Support for multiple space types, including:
  • Regular (paid and free)
  • Accessible (ADA)
  • Electric Vehicle (EV)
  • Motorcycle
  • Loading zones
  • Quickstop
  • Reservations (multiple types)
  • Parking History for quick return visits
  • Favorites for one-tap navigation to preferred locations

Instead of guessing where parking might be available, drivers see accurate availability, navigate confidently, and complete payment — all within one app.

How does real-time availability work?

eXactnav connects to sensor-enabled parking infrastructure to display real-world occupancy as it changes… in real-time.

Drivers can filter by space type, including:

  • Regular (free and paid)
  • Accessible (ADA)
  • Electric vehicle (EV)
  • Motorcycle
  • Loading zones
  • Quick stop
  • Reservation-based spaces

How Do Pricing and Payment Work in eXactnav?

eXactnav connects real-time availability, pricing, and payment into one seamless experience. For pricing, when a driver selects a stall or zone, the app automatically displays pricing based on:

  • Current hourly or flat rates
  • Parking time required
  • Free parking windows (where applicable)
  • Any applicable special-use rates

Pricing is dynamically updated and total pricing cost is based on location and duration. And for the Payment portion, drivers simply review and confirm. There’s no need to enter zone codes, stall numbers, or visit a pay station. If rates change throughout the day, the system adjusts automatically. In-app payment is available where supported and is processed securely through integrated payment providers.

How does navigation work?

Drivers can search by destination — such as an office, event venue, or address — and view nearby parking options in real time.

From there, they can:

  • Navigate directly to a specific stall
  • Choose a preferred zone
  • Receive alternative suggestions if availability changes
  • Drivers can also filter parking based on their specific needs. eXactnav supports multiple stall types, including:
  • Regular (paid and free)
  • Accessible (ADA)
  • Electric Vehicle (EV)
  • Motorcycle
  • Loading zones
  • Quick stop
  • Reservation-enabled spaces

In addition to filtering by space type, drivers can view and select parking based on real-time pricing by stall or zone — helping them choose the option that best fits their budget and destination

How Does eXactnav Work with Digital Signage?

eXactnav can be used alongside digital parking signage as part of a connected parking experience.

When real-time parking infrastructure is deployed, the same occupancy data can inform both street-level signage and the eXactnav app. Drivers may first see live availability displayed on signage and then use eXactnav to navigate and complete payment.

Digital signage can:

  • Display live parking availability by stall or zone
  • Guide drivers toward open spaces in real time
  • Help reduce circling and congestion in high-demand areas
  • Whether viewed on signage or within the app, drivers receive accurate, up-to-date parking information.
  • Security and Privacy

Payments are encrypted and processed through integrated providers that meet established security standards. eXactnav does not collect or maintain personal data or vehicle information such as license plate details. The platform is designed with privacy in mind.
